Living God, our life stories are full of ups and downs, moments of glory and despair. On any given day we might be tempted to live in the clouds or crawl under the earth. Save us from these extremes by grounding us in your love. Nurture within our hearts an acceptance that extends to following Jesus along the path of life. When we find that we are simply too weary to walk, we ask that you would carry us along. Through the Resurrected Body of Christ, Amen.
